1960 Porsche-Diesel Junior 108 Tractor

This 1960 Porsche-Diesel Junior 108 tractor is said to have been refurbished under previous ownership and was acquired by the current owner in 2020. It is finished in red with a matching steel seat, and power is from an air-cooled 822cc diesel single paired with a dual-range three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes headlights, taillights, dual power take-offs, beige-finished wheels, a hydraulically lifted hitch with a drawbar, and a fender-mounted jump seat. Service in preparation for the sale consisted of changing the oil. This Porsche-Diesel Junior tractor is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment in Warrenville, Illinois, with a bill of sale.

Porsche-Diesel Junior tractors were manufactured between 1952 and 1963. The body and chassis of this example were reportedly refinished in red under prior ownership, and features include aluminum front grilles, a rear-hinged hood, headlights, taillights, a fender-mounted jump seat, and Porsche-Diesel badges.

Beige-painted wheels wear agricultural tires up front and 9.5-24 Goodyear Duratorque tires out back. Stopping power is from independent rear drum brakes.

The spring-suspended operator’s seat features the Porsche Diesel script across the back and is fitted with a red vinyl cover. Controls include a throttle, a shifter, a transmission range selector, and brake pedals.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of an instrument panel that houses an engine temperature gauge, ignition and starter controls, a headlight switch, and warning lights. The tractor is not equipped with an hour meter, therefore total operating hours are unknown.

The air-cooled 822cc diesel single was factory rated at 14 horsepower and is paired with a three-speed dual-range manual transmission that delivers six forward speeds and two in reverse. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a portal axle. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.

The tractor is equipped with rear and mid-mounted power take-off shafts, a draw bar, and a hydraulically lifted hitch assembly.
